I knew this would happen someday well before I even signed on the dotted line to buy one, it is after all a Subaru engineered & made product.

Interesting what you find when you do a Google search for engine recall and faulty valve springs. I was not expecting to find the following article about Toyota.

Yeah Toyota have done quite a few recalls of late, even last decade. The GS also got recalled several times from memory. Still, I would rather a Toyota or Lexus car than any other for the $$. Series II cars seem to fare better than their first attempt so they should be the desirable ones on peoples shopping lists.
